Hey @nytimes, what is it called when you forcibly remove a specific ethnic or religious group from their land?

When community notes does journalism better than BBC.

Just to clarify, since some don’t seem to understand: 1) This death sentence will be delivered by military courts, there’s no jury, no representation 2) These military courts try Palestinian children 3) A child who throws a stone can be deemed a “terrorist” and now put to death.

Israel to ‘demolish’ all houses in Lebanese border villages ft.trib.al/BfRCGec

Bullshit. I am faculty at AUB and it has moved online weeks ago because the Israeli bombing is not confined to the Dahiye, and they have been targeting people in neighboring buildings. Plus a large segment of the student population is Shiite.

what is apartheid if not this

Incredible photo of the Lebanese journalist, Ali Shoeib, reporting in front of illegal invaders. Shoeib was murdered by Israel today in a targeted assassination.

Israel announces they’re widening their invasion of Southern Lebanon. (via AP) Netanyahu referred to it as the expansion of the “existing security strip.”

The killings in the last 24 hours of 14 health workers in southern #Lebanon mark a tragic development in the escalating Middle East crisis. @WHO has confirmed that 12 doctors, paramedics and nurses were killed in a strike late last night on the Bourj Qalaouiyeh primary healthcare center. Just hours earlier, two paramedics lost their lives in attacks on a health facility in Al Sowana. These incidents highlight the ongoing assault on Lebanon’s healthcare system, which is crucial for the populations it serves. Since March 2, WHO has verified 27 attacks on healthcare in Lebanon, resulting in 30 deaths and 35 injuries, including the horrifying events of Friday. WHO condemns this tragic loss of life and emphasizes that health workers must always be protected. According to international humanitarian law, medical personnel and facilities should never be attacked or militarized. The intensification of conflict in Lebanon and the broader Middle East increases the likelihood of such tragedies. Urgent action is required to de-escalate the crisis and protect the health of people throughout the region.

Israeli forces kill Palestinian couple and two of their children in occupied West Bank bbc.in/4bc4WwL

I’m sorry, but how are 800+ people dead in Lebanon and the world isn’t even flinching?

Good piece by Nicolas Kristof in the NYT today

After lying about it, the Trump Administration confirmed that they bombed a school in Iran—killing 175 people, mostly girls. Trump should be impeached. Hegseth should be fired. And the Administration must be held accountable in international courts for their heinous war crimes.

i love this one very much

Trump and Netanyahu killed every child in this photo. Every. Single. One. Not combatants. Not militants. Schoolkids from Minab, Iran.
